Recipe Summary Paula's Lasagna

Homemade sauce and lots of cheese!

Ingredients | Pineapple Stuffing Paula Deen

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 pounds lean ground beef

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dried rosemary

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

5 cups hot water

24 ounces tomato paste

1 pound lasagna noodles

1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

8 ounces ricotta cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic in hot oil until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ground beef to onion mixture; cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir salt, basil, oregano, rosemary, and ground black pepper into beef mixture.

Whisk water and tomato paste together in a large bowl. Pour tomato paste mixture into beef mixture, bring to a simmer, and cook until sauce is slightly reduced and flavors blend, about 1 hour.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain.

Measure out 1 cup mozzarella cheese and set aside.

Spread about 1/3 the sauce in the bottom of a 9 1/2x15-inch baking dish. Arrange lasagna noodles in a single layer over the sauce, top with 1/2 the ricotta cheese, and 1/2 the remaining mozzarella cheese. Spread 1/3 the sauce over the cheese, top with remaining lasagna noodles, 1/2 the ricotta cheese, and 1/2 mozzarella cheese. Spread last 1/3 the sauce over the top.

Bake lasagna in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake until cheese is melted and lasagna is heated through and bubbling, about 15 minutes more. Cool for 10 minutes.
